I understand this point all to well. I don't miss this aspect of that belief system, and its precisely why it is wrong.

That is partly why I maintain such a firm stance against the nonsense... it kills ACTUAL people... or builds an environment that will actually lead to deaths, just like in this case.. look at lars, here... Pro-life philosophy (or lack-there-of) is responsible for this, completely..

You shall know them by their fruits.

Even look at the reactions from most pro-lifers after this incident... which was to lament, not over the murder, but at the trouble this will cause their belief system. Absolutely horrific.

While in Yemen, Hensley said Muhammad married and converted to Islam. (http://www.witn.com/home/headlines/47046687.html)

:eek::eek:

Coverage uneven for abortion doctor, soldier

Two apparent politically motivated slayings within 24 hours resulted in some very uneven news coverage. The press paid far more attention to the killing of late-term abortion provider Dr. George Tiller than it did to Army recruiter Pvt. William Andrew Long.

>>>

"Big media, which is doing its best to link the killing of George Tiller to the mainstream pro-life movement, is going out of its way to assert that there is no evidence that Abdulhakim Muhammad had any connection to Muslim groups," said Gary Bauer, president of American Values. "The few exceptions where there is coverage only prove the rule. For the mainstream media, this is a nonstory."

Why aren't liberals rushing to assure us this time that "most pro-lifers are peaceful"? Unlike Muslims, pro-lifers actually are peaceful.

According to recent polling, a majority of Americans oppose abortion -- which is consistent with liberals' hysterical refusal to allow us to vote on the subject. In a country with approximately 150 million pro-lifers, five abortionists have been killed since Roe v. Wade.

In that same 36 years, more than 49 million babies have been killed by abortionists. Let's recap that halftime score, sports fans: 49 million to five.

>>>

But the killing of about one abortionist per decade leads liberals to condemn the entire pro-life movement as "domestic terrorists." At least liberals have finally found some terrorists they'd like to send to Guantanamo.

>>>

I wouldn't kill an abortionist myself, but I wouldn't want to impose my moral values on others. No one is for shooting abortionists. But how will criminalizing men making difficult, often tragic, decisions be an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the shootings of abortionists?

Following the moral precepts of liberals, I believe the correct position is: If you don't believe in shooting abortionists, then don't shoot one.

Shannon

Then you're for the execution of the man who killed Dr. Tiller, then?

That's the argument, isn't it? If someone kills somebody to "save" (however many) people, is it cold blooded murder? Should they be prosecuted? The man who killed the "doctor" thought he was saving babies. I guess it all comes back to that whole "when does life begin" argument....and that never ends.

Because I happen to believe murder of any kind is wrong. Thou shalt not kill does not contain any exception clauses, genius. Killing a single abortion doctor does nothing to stop the pace of abortions in this country. All it does is make people who are anti-abortion look like terrorists (yes, terrorists, and that makes me angry as all hell because it probably means more babies end up in a wastebin somewhere), and it is nothing more than vengeance killing, which is specifically prohibited, repeatedly, in the Bible.

The Lord God will judge abortion doctors at the appropriate time. No one man or institution has the right, capability, or means to adequately do the same.

Never mind that vengeance killing is never anything but murder. See my previous point about how he wasn't saving any babies by killing Tiller. There are plenty more sickos where he [Tiller] came from. No one is going to be unable to get an abortion because he's dead; however, a few were probably delayed by the gluing shut of the clinic doors and other nonviolent means the man who was arrested pursued.

Progress. So you realize that the only way it could have *possibly* been justified is if his actions actually saved an innocent life. You also seem to recognize that killing Tiller doesn't achieve that.

It's been ruled many, many, many times in US courts that intent, after a certain point, is irrelevant. His actions meet the qualifications for murder, not defending the defenseless. He did not kill Dr. Tiller in the midst of prying a foetus out of a woman's womb; he murdered him, IN COLD BLOOD, in a CHURCH. He's going to burn in Hell for a long time for that one. I doubt strongly that the Good Lord looks kindly on killing in His name.

And let's be clear: Killing is *ALWAYS* wrong. The only reason you have half a leg to stand on is because it's more wrong to let someone be murdered - and it's fair to say that no one isn't going to be murdered because of this action, so we're back to square one. Killing is always wrong.

Taking a life is a sin, and taking a life to protect someone you love doesn't absolve you of it. Your belief that it's somehow possible to walk through life without sin if only the "right" thing were done in every instance smacks of a rather shallow and naive outlook on the world.

I take it you prefer the Old Testament to the New? You certainly seem like an eye for an eye kind of person. Hope you never end up on the wrong end of someone like yourself. It must be nice to live in a state of moral superiority.

Nice job ignoring my point on different interpretations of the Bible. My King James Bible clearly states:

Dueteronomy 5:17 Thou shalt not kill.

More clarification, for those who care:

http://jbrooks2.tripod.com/THOU_SHALT_NOT_KILL.html

<snip>In Matthew Chapter 19, Verse 18, it is rendered, “THOU SHALT DO NO MURDER.” Only a few chapters previously, Matthew 5:21, Christ, in His Sermon on the Mount, quotes this command as “THOU SHALT NOT KILL,” and the whole tenor of His sermon was intended to emphasize and strengthen the Law. How is it then, that this vital Alteration has crept into our Bibles? In the Greek, Latin. French, German, Italian, Spanish and Welsh translations of the Scriptures the wording of this verse, Matthew Chapter 19, Verse 18, is the same as in Exodus 20, “THOU SHALT NOT KILL.” Why then has this been changed in our English version to “THOU SHALT DO NO MURDER,” which has such a different meaning? And what is still more important for us to know, is why this changing of Gods Law which occurs only once in Matthew Chapter 19, Verse 18, is printed not only in our Prayer Books, both in the Catechism and in the Communion Service, but is often engraved on the Altars of our Churches instead of :— “THOU SHALT NOT KILL” — Exodus Chapter 20, Verse 13.
“Thou shalt not kill” — Deut. 5:17.
“Thou shalt not kill” — Matthew 5:21.
“Do not kill” — Mark 10:19.
“Do not kill” — Luke 18:20.
“Thou shalt not kill” — Romans 8:9.
“Do not kill” — James 2:11.
The command in the Hebrew Talmud is distinctly “THOU SHALT NOT KILL.” The Greek word “Mephoneuseis,” as well as the Latin “non occides,” remain the same in all the eight instances. Luther's Bible, which is quoted by many critics as the purest interpretation of the Bible, and which shows deep insight and knowledge of the Hebrew Scriptures, retains the original wording, “THOU SHALT NOT KILL” <snip>

So now that we've established that it's a perfectly legitimate interpretation, either admit that your perspective isn't nearly as airtight as you'd like, or realize that you're nothing more than a hack.

BTW I dont care what the courts say. They gave us Abortion for cry out loud.

That is partly why I maintain such a firm stance against the nonsense... it kills ACTUAL people... or builds an environment that will actually lead to deaths
Pro life people believe that the baby that was hacked to death is an "actual" person.

In the second bold text, the environment the baby is in, the womb, is one that supports and leads to life. The abortion by its very meaning already has an environment. That environment is death. That is precisely the end state.

While the liberals and other pro-death supporters rally round Dr Death, who mourns the 40 million babies hacked to death in the womb?

I wish this were not so political. I don't understand it from a political point of view. Abortion just seems wrong to me, and in the case of this "Dr" who ironically swore to the hipocratic oath, evil.:(

I don't believe you do. You miss it as evidenced below

Pro life people believe that the baby that was hacked to death is an "actual" person.

In the second bold text, the environment the baby is in, the womb, is one that supports and leads to life. The abortion by its very meaning already has an environment. That environment is death. That is precisely the end state.

While the liberals and other pro-death supporters rally round Dr Death, who mourns the 40 million babies hacked to death in the womb?

I wish this were not so political. I don't understand it from a political point of view. Abortion just seems wrong to me, and in the case of this "Dr" who ironically swore to the hipocratic oath, evil.:(

At this point it really has nothing to do with Tiller, per se. The news media now gets to use the words "anti-abortion movement" and "terrorist" in the same breath, thanks to this whackjob and possibly thanks to this anti abortion group. That only hurts the unborn in the long run, wouldn't you agree?

Perhaps not, in the widespread social sense. On the individual level? I've known several very close friends and a few family members who have had to struggle with it, and events like this do inform their opinions.

Beyond that, whether it's possible to revert to an abortion free society or not, the morality of the situation doesn't just go away if there's no goal to be achieved. It's STILL wrong to kill the doctor, just like it's STILL wrong to kill the unborn.

In modern history, you're right. They don't do many abortions in India or Africa. In order for abortions to completely disappear, you'd have to make the demand for population so great that it would be not just a moral imperative but a social imperative, which it hasn't been for well over a century in this country.

I doubt strongly that the Good Lord looks kindly on killing in His name.

THOU SHALT NOT KILL

Murder. But when you think about it, religion has never really had a big problem with murder. More people have been killed in the name of god than for any other reason. All you have to do is look at Northern Ireland, Cashmire, the Inquisition, the Crusades, and the World Trade Center to see how seriously the religious folks take thou shalt not kill. The more devout they are, the more they see murder as being negotiable. It depends on who's doin the killin' and who's gettin' killed.

George Carlin, excerpt from his 10 commandments routine, figured we could use a laugh after the last 8 pages of negativity.

On a serious note, Lars...the killing of one who killed is still wrong no matter how you look at it. It doesn't matter if its soldiers killing enemy soldiers, vigilantes killing drug dealers or pimps or abortion doctors, random street thugs shooting each other and hitting innocents in the process its all wrong, however necessary it may be at the time to prevent further evil, the act of murder is still wrong. The one thing everyone here is failing to realize (or simply not acknowledging) is the forgiveness factor. Anyone who truly repents of their actions will be forgiven by God and be able to enter his presence...its all over the new testament but you shouldn't have to go past the first 4 books to get it repeated enough. Did Dr. Tiller repent? probably not, true repentance means he wouldn't be performing abortions anymore...but since he was shot going into church, who can possibly know that the ministers message that morning wouldn't have put such a burden on Dr. Tiller's heart that he repented and his murder be entirely unnecessary to save the lives of babies as is the reason for the murder?

Murdering someone is not the solution. In this case others have stepped in to replace him. He has been made a martyr and zealots have been created. You will now have more doctors doing this type of abortion and more babies dying because of it. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor did that scare the U.S. out of becoming involved? No, it solidified our resolve and brought us in to the war.

Murder is never a valid solution to a problem. Once people take justice in to their own hands they have made acceptable chaos.In this case since abortion is legal then the justice should be left to God. And we as citizens of a government that God has ordained must use the law to change things. If we can not keep the laws of man then we show God that we can not keep his laws. Most people here are true to their conviction, if it is wrong to kill babies then it is wrong to kill the killer of babies. It can not be both ways.

I think what Tiller's murderer did was done with the best intentions (saving innocent babies). I don't agree with what he did, and I don't mourn the loss of Dr. Tiller ( I don't mourn the loss of people who have no impact on my life). Actually, I feel the world is a better place without him. Would I gun someone down for performing abortions? No, I wouldn't, my duty is to my family and my friends.

Why didn't this guy gun down the women coming out of the abortion clinic? Are they not even more evil by paying someone to murder their babies? No, let God judge them.

If this guy truly believes in his cause (which I think he does), then he should be willing to suffer the consequences. The Bible also says that you have to follow man's law, which means you have to be prepared to be sublect to man's punishment on Earth. If this man begs for sympathy or tries to escape punishment, then he is a hypocrit and deserves sympathy from no one.

My opinion on this matter is just an opinion no more no less. I feel abortion is wrong it is plane and simple a human is being formed. I don’t know when God issues souls. In the Psalms God said he knew me in my mothers womb that leads me to believe he was referring to me as a complete being body and soul.
Do I have a responsibility to prevent other people from getting abortions? To me the answer is yes but it is limited. I vote for prolife candidates in elections And I have never encouraged a woman to have an abortion. I feel no responsibility to protest at abortion clinics or kill abortion providers. As far as the murderer goes he is guilty of the same crime as the women that go to the fetus extermination centers, those who encourage them and the staff of those establishments. The people that have abortions are in most cases liberal, agnostic, self-centered hedonists that are no big loss when they step out of the gene pool. When they get old they will realize the disservice they did themselves when the children they did not abort decide to euphemize them to keep from having to pay for taking care of them.

Well...sort of. It's true that churches are open to all, and love to have new sinners join their ranks, and are highly unlikely to ask anyone to stop coming to church...still, most churches would NOT have an unrepentant sinner as any type of "authority." Someone who continues to live a sinful life would not become a deacon, or an usher, or a teacher, or any other type of leader. They would probably not even be able to host a class in their home(s.) The fact that Tiller's church let him be an usher says very bad things about them. Tiller's ill-gotten profits may have bought him immunity from prosecution in Kansas, and a cushy place in his church building...but they won't buy him anything when he stands in front of the Throne of Judgement. And we, as Christians, should be praying for mercy on his soul.

So what you're saying is that you don't do jack, except try and play hit and run keyboard w4rrior on an anonymous Internet forum? Gee, sounds like you have real moral standing to talk--not.

I still have not heard what you would do to end abortion. What you said only helps to stop a few here and there but what idea's do you have to end it for good?

Let me get this straight - you're all for a man doing what he can to "stop a few here and there" when it involves killing another human being, but you belittle someone when they do the same to try and actually save a life?

Are you sure you're a Christian?

Because you sound like an atheistic little punk that runs and looks up a line of Scripture off Google whenever your whacked out little worldview gets questioned by anyone with a jot of common sense. Incidentally, this would explain why you're completely, totally ignorant of the fact that many respectable versions of the Bible interpret the Sixth Commandment as "Thou shalt not kill" as opposed to the one you so passionately (if passively) support.

If you dont have any please dont ridicule a man thats a real go getter :)

Honestly, my feeling on abortion in cases of severe birth defects or other extreme medical issues comes from my belief that God would not want a child to suffer needlessly. God gave us minds to perfect advance medicine, and hearts to use as our guides as to when it is appropriate to use this knowledge. We help the elderly, cancer patients, Alzheimer's patients, to pass on painlessly and with dignity.

Again, I don't care for the way Tiller pushed the legal/ethical boundary. However, since none of us have access to the private medical files of his patients, we have no way to know which cases were legitimate medical complications and rape/incest issues, and which were abortions of 'convenience' which I do not agree with.

You could never "force" someone to carry to term...yet you would certainly have a problem with someone who decided to kill the child after the birth. What difference does the child's location make?

This is the way I look at it, abortion is the taking of human life. Murdering a child is murder.

Remember, I'm coming at this as someone who, as a foster parent, has seen the worst of the worst in terms of neglet and abuse. I'm talking kids chained to tables, locked in footlockers overnight. I'm not saying that those children would have been better off aborted, it just puts a face on an unwanted child for me.

If God has a plan for all of us, then who am I to intervene and force my beliefs or my will on someone else, as Scott Roeder did. I can only be a living example in my own life and through my own actions.

The charity I mentioned doesn't call itself pro-life--just Catholics offering help to those who need it.

So what you're saying is that you don't do jack, except try and play hit and run keyboard w4rrior on an anonymous Internet forum? Gee, sounds like you have real moral standing to talk--not.

Let me get this straight - you're all for a man doing what he can to "stop a few here and there" when it involves killing another human being, but you belittle someone when they do the same to try and actually save a life?

Are you sure you're a Christian?

Because you sound like an atheistic little punk that runs and looks up a line of Scripture off Google whenever your whacked out little worldview gets questioned by anyone with a jot of common sense. Incidentally, this would explain why you're completely, totally ignorant of the fact that many respectable versions of the Bible interpret the Sixth Commandment as "Thou shalt not kill" as opposed to the one you so passionately (if passively) support.

Whatever, troll.

AXLE! Hi, buddy! You making much money in Second Life, too?...how do you live off that 10.00 USD you make a week? O.o

Here's a hint: Grow up, get a real job, and then come back here and start trying to post that morally superior bullsnot again. At least 90% of the individuals on this board that hold views similar to yours have been there and done that - you're just a pathetic little kid that lets someone else pay the bills while they do whatever the hell they feel like.

Pal I work for a living what do you do?

I dont play second life, I have really no idea what that is.

Wc you should come out of the closet and admit it.

Well I am old school and believe it was ment to be "thou shalt not murder" but you keep trying to force others to believe what you believe.

When I asked what you do to end the practice I ment OUTLAW it douche bag. I dont really believe a word you say so please F$%k off :)

I fix the computers you post on. The only reason I've got any idea about Second Life is because you've got that 30 page thread going in the lounge ;)

As for you being "old school", the only way that makes any possible sense is if you're saying you're a firm believer in the Old Testament as opposed to the New...because "thou shalt not kill" is an older interpretation than "thou shalt not murder".

I dare you to post where I attempt to "force" someone to believe the viewpoint I support; I've only ever pointed out that it's an interpretation-which by nature means it's just one perspective. Me stating that it's a legitimate one =/= forcing in on anyone, except maybe by threatening your vanishingly narrow worldview.

I still do more than you do with regards to abortion and the prevention thereof, so trying to cuss me out only makes you look like an even bigger tool.

God gave us minds to perfect advance medicine, and hearts to use as our guides as to when it is appropriate to use this knowledge. We help the elderly, cancer patients, Alzheimer's patients, to pass on painlessly and with dignity.

We don't stick needles in their hearts and inject a drug that will cause the heart muscles to contract hard enough to explode. This is the method of choice for killing infants that are past the mid-point in Mom's pregnancy. This may be easier on the parents, but it is not painless for the child. Perhaps you can quote some NT scripture where God says that we know better than He about the time when a human should die? My belief is that God is in control, and our time to go home is in His hands. Any action we take to hurry that time for another person is murder. I will admit that a terminally ill patient should have the right to choose that we do not intervene to continue his or her life, but we don't have the right to make that choice for someone else unless the person is actually braindead.

And I am familiar with the defects you listed...and I looked at the pictures. I agree that some conditions would be horrible for the parents. However, there are many horrible conditions discovered after birth, and we don't kill people for them. The child involved is the same person before birth as after. Moving that child out of Mom does not suddenly create a human being, the child is the same child before the move.

Again, I don't care for the way Tiller pushed the legal/ethical boundary. However, since none of us have access to the private medical files of his patients, we have no way to know which cases were legitimate medical complications and rape/incest issues, and which were abortions of 'convenience' which I do not agree with.

This is the way I look at it, abortion is the taking of human life. Murdering a child is murder.

Remember, I'm coming at this as someone who, as a foster parent, has seen the worst of the worst in terms of neglet and abuse. I'm talking kids chained to tables, locked in footlockers overnight.

The charity I mentioned doesn't call itself pro-life--just Catholics offering help to those who need it.

Scott Roeder was wrong, 2 wrongs do not make a right, though I am happy that the clinic will not be reopened.

Pro-life people may be perceived as forcing our beliefs on others, but pro-abortion people are actually forcing death upon millions of children every year. I wouldn't be OK with people chaining kids to tables, locking them in overnight, or killing them...at any stage of life. Abortion has been advertised as a way to make sure "all children are wanted children," and yet, the abuse, the neglect, the unwanted children continue on and on. Abortion will never end the problem of unwanted kids. Telling people that kids are a punishment, that kids are worth so little that they can be legally murdered before birth, that having children is selfish and "bad for the planet" can only add to the problem. The best solution to unwanted children is the biblical one...that all children are blessings from God, that no child is ever a mistake (getting pregnant may be a mistake, but he resulting child cannot be a mistake), and honoring good parents MORE than those that discard their kids, either before or after birth, for financial reasons.

And yet you seem to have no compunctions about inducing a breach birth - jamming scissors into the back of a babies head and sucking out their brains. No undo suffering there. Nope. NONE AT ALL. :rolleyes:

I don't consider the celebration that a killer of 60,000 children was stopped from killing other children to be an extremist position.

I do feel that celebrating the murder of two US Servicemen to be an extremist’s position.

You evidently have a different set of values than me.
